Exemption from building permit - joy and worry

After the Ho Chi Minh City Department of Construction announced 112 projects eligible for exemption from construction permits (GPXD), wards/communes immediately deployed them to the people. Besides the excitement of not having to waste time applying for construction permits, people have another worry, which is not knowing whether they can build a house and get a pink book or not.

Hope to build a house and get a pink book

The Conic 13B residential area project (in Binh Hung commune) is one of 112 projects announced to be eligible for exemption from construction permits. Here, there are 5 plots of land where people are building houses. Ms. TH, a resident of the Conic 13C residential area, said that she has bought land here for more than 10 years. "I recently heard that I am exempt from construction permits, I am very happy because from now on I do not have to waste time and hassle. However, I am also worried because I did not ask for permission, built incorrectly according to the design, and built the wrong house model, will I be able to complete the project or not?" Ms. H. wondered.

Not far from Conic 13B residential area is the 13C residential area project, also in Binh Hung commune, invested by Tan Binh Construction Investment Joint Stock Company (Tan Binh Company), which is also on the list of projects exempted from construction permits this time. The project was implemented in 2002, and in 2004, the investor completed the purchase and sale procedures with customers. However, up to now, the issuance of pink books for 99 plots of land in lots A and B has not been carried out. Mr. Cao Xuan Do, Head of Hamlet 69, Binh Hung commune, said that the wish of the people here is to build houses to live in because they have waited too long. However, there are still some plots in this area that have not been granted pink books because the investor has not fulfilled additional financial obligations. Previously, some impatient people built without permission and were asked to stop by the local government.

At the Ha Do residential area project in Thoi An ward, with Ha Do Group Joint Stock Company as the investor, more than 92% of the individual houses have been built. When hearing the news that the project is exempt from construction permits, the local people are very excited. However, some people are wondering whether if the construction permit is exempted, will the people be granted pink books or not, because in this area, most of the houses that have been built for a long time have not been granted books. Similarly, in Nha Be commune, there are nearly 30 housing projects exempted from construction permits this time, according to Mr. Vo Phan Le Nguyen, Chairman of Nha Be Commune People's Committee, the commune has informed the people about the projects exempted from construction permits.

Continue to review eligible projects

Regarding the question of residents of residential area 13C, Mr. Bui Truong Son, Head of the Economic Department of Binh Hung commune, said that the investor must complete financial obligations and be granted a pink book before being allowed to build a house. Mr. Nguyen Dinh Bao Quoc, Vice Chairman of Thoi An Ward People's Committee, informed: The Ha Do residential area project is exempted from granting a construction permit to the investor. Therefore, before starting construction, the investor only needs to send a notice of commencement to the local authorities and the Department of Construction Inspectorate to coordinate inspection during the construction process. After completing the investment in housing construction, completing technical infrastructure works, social infrastructure according to the plan as well as completing financial obligations, the investor contacts the Branch of the City Land Registration Office to complete procedures to grant pink books to home buyers.

Along with that, the Department of Agriculture and Environment of Ho Chi Minh City presides over and coordinates with the City Land Registration Office to review current regulations to guide the People's Committees of wards/communes to uniformly and synchronously implement the work of handling procedures for granting certificates of ownership of works for individual houses according to the lists announced by the Department of Construction.
